What is at stake.
Training equipment is donated, loaned and bought from a dozen sources, each with its own delivery date. Enrollment opens long before the building is done. A late lab means students turned away, not just a late punch list.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Equipment register
Every training rig, booth and machine has a line in the schedule tied to the lab it serves and the utilities it needs.
Semester as constraint
The first day of class is a hard finish milestone, with faculty move-in and lab certification sequenced in front of it.
Cost forecasting
Monthly estimate at completion reports show the college where contingency is going before it is gone.
Field data in one place
Daily reports, RFIs and schedule progress feed one data source, so progress claims are checked against the field.
Where it stands.
Students have already signed up for these labs. The schedule has to respect that more than anyone else on the job.
